Students fall behind, and make their grades drop. With a lack of sleep, humans are prone to making mistakes and will not be able to do the work. Think about how many students drive to school. Do you think it is safe for a student to be tired when driving? By changing the school start time from 7:00 a.m to 9:00 a.m, students would gain an hour or two of sleep which can make a big difference in a studentΒs academic performance. Moving the time could also help students who have a sporting event and didnt get home until :00 p.m. Students now has the opportunity to stay up late and do her homework, so instead of having to wake up at 6:00 a.m. and only getting seven hours of sleep; this student can sleep until 8:00 a.m. and get eight hours of sleep, giving her a chance to stay awake during school and be able to focus and engage in the classroom. After a sleepless night, we feel irritated and short-tempered. But with a good nightΒs sleep, it has been shown that students are much happier and exhibit a better attitude. With a good attitude comes the ability to be motivated and push for higher acad
emic achievement, also shows a direct influence of self-confidence on school achievement.
We can agree that when we change our behavior, we change our performance. A good attitude can aid students in making new friends. Students who exhibit a good attitude also tends to make better connections with teachers, which can make it easier to reach out if they need help or support from the teacher because they already have built that bond. If we increase our hours of sleep, we can lower the bully rate because children will be well-rested. Not to mention that the attendance rate will increase. Most students do not bother coming to school because they cant get out of bed, but with a later starting time, they will have enough sleep and time to get to school on time. Starting school later can help combat depression, anxiety, sleep deprivation and obesity. Lack of sleep can lead to a sleep deficit that results in lasting physical and mental health problems. The one major effect of little sleep is stress. School is already very stressful but add a lack of sleep, and we are looking at major health issues.
